Soldiers have been accused of killing 13 people from a village in central Myanmar, 11 of whose burned bodies were discovered on Tuesday. The incident occurred near the city of Monywa, after local militias opposing military rule carried out at least two bomb attacks on a military convoy. Locals say soldiers then swept through nearby villages, rounding up and killing six men and five teenagers. The military junta is yet to comment on the incident. Locals say that people’s defence forces volunteers – armed groups formed to resist military rule in towns and villages – from the area planted two improvised explosives on a road used by the military in an attempted attack. One of these devices detonated early, killing the two men planting it. When the second device exploded, two more men were reportedly detained and shot dead.(BBC)…[+]
